The Department of Justice is reinstating a previously approved information‑collection requirement under the Patrick Leahy Bulletproof Vest Partnership Program.

Comments must be submitted through the designated eComments portal referenced in the Federal Register notice. The agency will consider all submissions before finalizing the collection procedures.

Stakeholders—including law‑enforcement chiefs, procurement officers, and manufacturers—should review the notice for any reporting obligations that may affect ongoing or future contracts related to body armor, ballistic shields, and helmets.
